In general, the RIBBON-type mixer is a generic term for a mixer in which a RIBBON-type rotating body is attached to the mixer.

An example of such a RIBBON-type mixer is shown in FIG. 1 . As shown, a cylindrical body, a RIBBON-type mixing screw disposed inside the body, a raw material supply unit mounted on the upper end of the body, and a raw material discharge unit mounted on the lower end of the body are provided.

The mixing screw is designed to cross two RIBBON wheels with different moving directions, and while rotating, mixing proceeds by up-and-down motion opposite to the flow of the mixture by the RIBBON.

However, in such a conventional mixer, when raw material is supplied to the raw material supply unit, it enters the center of the RIBBON mixer and is distributed left and right through the rotating screw inside the RIBBON mixer to mix various kinds of raw materials. Mixing is performed smoothly, but the mixing ratio falls at both ends of the body indicated as the mixing inefficiency section in FIG. 1 .

In addition, when raw materials are mixed in a batch format, it is difficult to set the mixing conditions, and since the discharging of the mixed mixture and the input and mixing of the new mixture must be performed in a time sequence, there is no choice but to cause a loss in time.

To this end, the temperature control unit 15 includes a jacket forming portion 15a that forms a threaded passage between the inner tube 13 and the outer tube 14, and at one end of the jacket forming portion 15a. It consists of a fluid supply part 15b for supplying a high-temperature fluid, and a fluid discharge part 15c for discharging the fluid that has passed through the jacket formation part 15a at the other end of the jacket formation part 15a. Accordingly, the fluid supplied from the fluid supply unit 15b passes through the jacket forming unit 15a formed of a spiral passage and is finally discharged to the outside through the fluid discharge unit 15c.

Next, the raw material mixing part 20 is installed inside the body part 10 and rotates to mix the raw material input into the body part 10, and is located on the outside of the cover 16 on one side of the body part 10. It is driven by an arranged motor (M). The raw material mixing unit 20 includes a plate-shaped mixer 21 and a spiral mixer 22 .

The plate-shaped mixer 21 is formed in the entire length from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the body part 10 and is composed of a plurality of plate-shaped blades in contact with the inner wall surface of the body part 10 . In addition, the spiral mixer 22 is formed in a relatively shorter section than the plate-shaped mixer 21 from one end in the longitudinal direction of the body portion 10 and is spirally arranged.

The plate-shaped mixer 21 includes a first blade 21a connected in a right angle direction to a support bar extended and connected radially from the rotation axis of the motor M, and a spiral mixer 22 connected to the first blade 21a. It includes a second blade 21b connecting the helical mixers 22 and a third blade 21c extending from the tip of the spiral mixer 22 to the other end of the body 10 . At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 , the first and second blades 21a and 21b rotate in the same space as the spiral mixer 22 and are configured to mix the raw materials, and the third blade 21c is the spiral mixer 22 ) and is configured to mix raw materials while rotating a separate space.

Therefore, in the section in which the first and second blades 21a and 21b and the spiral mixer 22 are installed together, a mixing transport section in which mixing and transport of raw materials is performed is formed. In addition, in the section beyond the mixing transfer section, only the third blade 21c is installed, and a stagnant section is formed in the blocked space of the other end of the body portion 10 .

As described above, in the present invention, the plate-shaped mixer 21 and the spiral mixer 22 are driven together to provide a mixing transfer section for mixing the raw materials to move to the other end of the body part 10 while mixing the raw materials, and the body part 10 It is formed at the other end of the plate-shaped mixer 21 and puts a stagnant section where it is mixed only by the plate-shaped mixer 21, so that the raw material is not discharged immediately and stagnated for a certain period of time, thereby maximizing the mixing efficiency and continuously mixing and conveying can be made.

Here, a discharge height adjustment unit for sealing the other end of the body portion 10 while rotating so as to change the height of the raw material discharge port 33a in the horizontal direction from the lower end of the body portion 10 to adjust the stagnation time of the mixed raw material. (30) is provided.

In this embodiment as an example of such a discharge height adjustment unit 30, a fixing ring 31 extending in a radial direction from the other end surface of the body portion 10, and selectively coupled to the fixing ring 31 The pressing ring 32 and the fixing ring 31 and the pressing ring 32 are placed between the pressing ring 32 to be rotatable by dismantling the pressing ring 32 and the pressing ring 32 for the fixing ring 31 It is pressed and fixed by binding and is composed of a rotating plate 33 in which a horizontal raw material discharge port 33a is formed at a position spaced apart from the center.

At this time, the configuration for rotating and fixing the rotation plate 33 in relation to the fixing ring 31 and the pressing ring 32 may be variously applied. In this embodiment, the fixing ring 31 has an inner periphery An unthreaded through hole 31a is provided, and the pressing ring 32 has a screw thread formed on its inner periphery, and a coupling hole 32a is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole 31a, and the through hole 31a ) and a screw portion passing through the coupling hole 32a, a nut portion fastened to both ends of the screw portion, and a spacer inserted between the fixing ring and the pressing ring into which the screw portion is inserted. A configuration for varying the distance between the fixing ring 31 and the pressing ring 32 is adopted to enable rotation and fixing of the rotation plate 33 through adjustment.

When the height of the raw material outlet 33a is low through the configuration of the discharge height adjusting unit 30, the mixed raw materials are discharged in a state with a small stagnation time in the stagnant section, and when the height of the raw material outlet 33a is high In this case, the congestion time in the congestion section can be lengthened. This may be used to adjust the height of the raw material outlet 33a according to the characteristics of the raw material and the intended mixing ratio.

In addition, the rotating shaft of the raw material mixing unit 20 further includes a nozzle shaft 40 extending from the rotating shaft into the body 10 to discharge the washing water supplied therein into the body 10 . can be The nozzle shaft 40 is preferably equipped with a plurality of nozzles so that the washing water can be evenly sprayed into the body portion 10 .

Next, the operation of the continuous continuous mixer with improved mixing performance according to the present embodiment will be described.

7 is a view for explaining the input, mixing, and discharging process of the raw material in the conti mixer according to the present invention.

As shown, when the required stagnation time is determined according to the characteristics of the raw material to be mixed in the body portion 10 and the intended mixing rate, the height of the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is adjusted accordingly. Adjusting the height of the raw material discharge port 33a in the horizontal direction, when the nut part 35 coupled to the coupling hole 32a of the pressing ring 32 is loosened, the nut part is retracted or separated from the coupling hole 32a while the fixing ring 31 ) and the pressure ring 32 are spaced apart, and the rotating plate 33 placed therebetween is rotated through the gap. At this time, since the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is formed in the rotating plate 33 at a position spaced apart from the center, the height of the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is increased by the rotation of the rotating plate 33 in the body portion 10 It can be varied with respect to the floor surface. That is, when the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is positioned at the lower end of the body portion 10, the height of the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is lowered to shorten the stagnation time of the raw material, and the horizontal raw material outlet 33a is When it is positioned on the upper end of the body portion 10, the height of the raw material outlet 33a in the horizontal direction is increased, so that the stagnant time of the raw material is lengthened.

If the stagnant time is not required or a quick discharge of raw materials is required, the vertical raw material outlet 12 provided at the lower end of the other side of the body part 10 is opened and the vertical raw material is discharged to the horizontal raw material outlet 33a before being discharged. It can be discharged to the outlet (12). Alternatively, the raw material may be discharged more quickly together with the vertical direction raw material outlet 12 by disposing the horizontal raw material outlet 33a at a low position.

In addition, if the properties of the raw material to be mixed, for example, the liquid raw material has a property of curing at a low temperature, the temperature control unit 15 maintains the inside of the body portion 10 at a temperature at which the raw material is not cured. To this end, a high-temperature fluid is injected from the fluid supply unit 15b of the temperature control unit 15 and passed through the jacket forming unit 15a formed around the inner tube 13 of the body 10, so that the high-temperature fluid This increases the temperature inside the inner tube 13 .

The raw material to be mixed is fed into the raw material supply unit 11 installed at the upper end of one side of the body unit 10 . The input raw material is transferred to the other end of the body 10 while being mixed by the mixer in the mixing transfer section in which the plate-shaped mixer 21 and the spiral mixer 22 are installed together. At the other end of the body portion 10, there is a stagnant section where the raw material is not immediately discharged and is stagnated for a certain period of time while mixing only by the plate-shaped mixer 21, so that mixing and transfer can be made continuously while maximizing the mixing efficiency. At this time, as described above, the time the raw material is stagnant in the stagnant section is controlled by the height of the horizontal raw material outlet 33a. Accordingly, a raw material having a relatively long stagnant time, that is, a raw material having high mixing efficiency, is quantitatively discharged to the horizontal raw material outlet 33a to obtain a mixed raw material having a high mixing efficiency and uniformity.

On the other hand, Figure 8 is a view for explaining the cleaning process of the inner tube through the nozzle shaft according to the present invention. As shown, when washing the inside of the milk feed body 10 such as not using the mixer according to the present invention or replacing the mixed raw material with another raw material, washing water is supplied to the nozzle shaft 40 to The inside of the body 10 may be washed by discharging the washing water by the nozzle. At this time, by rotating the rotating shaft by driving the motor (M), the nozzle shaft 40 is rotated to help the even discharge of the washing water, as well as the cleaning efficiency of the raw material attached to the plate-shaped mixer 21 and the spiral mixer 22. there is.
